Lesko, a former state senator, defeated Democrat
Hiral Tipirneni to keep the 8th Congressional District seat in
Republican control.

National Republican groups funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars
to support Lesko in the hotly contested race that spanned heavily
conservative areas of western Phoenix suburbs.

“I congratulate Congresswoman-Elect Debbie Lesko and look forward to
welcoming her to our conference,” said Steve Stivers, chairman of
the National Republican Congressional Committee.

“Debbie is a strong
conservative whose values truly reflect those of the voters in Arizona’s
Eighth District. The NRCC was proud to support her and our targeted and
early investments proved to be a difference maker in the race.”

“Time is ticking down — get out and VOTE today,” the tweet read. “We need Debbie in Congress.”

Arizona, please get out today and vote @DebbieLesko for Congress in #AZ08.
Strong on Border, Immigration and Crime. Great on the Military. Time is
ticking down – get out and VOTE today. We need Debbie in Congress!
